Pros
For the most part you can work 6 days per week. 1.5x pay after 40 hours which is a plus. Every month if the branch is doing well with retention and sales, specialist are rewarded with a retention bonus each month, approx. 200-225 per month.
Cons
Pay is low. They start you off at 12.50 hour which isn't the worst, but for this job it should be 15 hour. Its a tough demanding job where you have to do a ton of physical work, a ton of paper work and other tedious work. Equipment is average, so when one breaks guys are taking another co worker's and its a big cycle. They lure you in with saying its only going to be 4-10 hour days but its rarely 4 days a week. Always at least 5. They jam sales down your throats for Lawn Specialist. At times you have to fight tooth and nail to actually get your commission.
